WHAT'S INSIDE — 7 SECTIONS
─────────────────────────────
✦ Section 1 — Single Income Household Budget
Built around the Four Walls method — food, housing, utilities, and transportation come first, always. Includes income tracker for all sources (job, child support, benefits, side income) and a full expense tracker organized by priority category.
✦ Section 2 — Child Support & Co-Parenting Expense Tracker
Log every child support payment — ordered vs. received, date, and any action taken — across a full 12-month tracker. Includes a co-parenting shared expense log to track costs both parties are responsible for. Your records protect you.
✦ Section 3 — Government Benefits Checklist
13 programs that single mothers commonly qualify for, each with a direct link to apply. Includes SNAP, WIC, TANF, Medicaid/CHIP, CCDF childcare assistance, LIHEAP utility help, Section 8 housing, Head Start, free/reduced school lunch, Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, Child & Dependent Care Credit, and 211 local resources. Many single moms qualify for several of these and don't know it.
✦ Section 4 — Childcare & School Cost Planner
Track monthly daycare, after-school care, and babysitting costs alongside annual school expenses — supplies, uniforms, fees, activities, and more. Includes a monthly sinking fund calculator so back-to-school season never catches you off guard again.
✦ Section 5 — Emergency Fund Tracker
Milestone-by-milestone tracker from $0 to 6 months of expenses saved. Includes a monthly contribution log, a visual progress tracker, and six milestones: $500, $1,000, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, and 6 months of expenses covered.
✦ Section 6 — 90-Day Financial Rebuild Plan
A step-by-step rebuild roadmap divided into three focused phases: Stabilize (Days 1–30), Organize (Days 31–60), and Build (Days 61–90). Each phase has clear, actionable tasks with checkboxes. You don't have to fix everything at once — just the next small step.
✦ Section 7 — Monthly Budget Summary
Your complete financial picture at a glance — total income, total expenses, child support received, emergency fund balance, benefits received, and take-home after all expenses. Includes month-end reflection prompts to improve every month.
